VOGUEfilm | 如梦初醒 Wake

Over the past few weeks, Voguefilm has premiered a new initiative in support of Chinese women in film. The team have curated six of China’s most promising new female filmmakers and have been in the trenches with each of them over the year, developing their narrative shorts from script to final cut. Among them is actress-writer-director Chase Sui Wonders’ WAKE, starring Wonders herself, Charles Melton, Emily May Jampel, Havana Rose Liu and Lukita Maxwell. Wonders tells a nuanced story of friendship, forbidden love and self-awareness in the face of grief.

VOGUEfilm短片《如梦初醒》讲述了几个昔日老友因为一位好友的葬礼而重聚的故事，这场葬礼就像情绪发酵催化剂，让各种心思、情愫浮出水面。Chase Sui Wonders通过镜头捕捉微妙的情绪和状态，重新唤醒主角们昔日的珍贵时光。哀怆的琴声、狭长的走道、昏黄的灯光、久别的重逢、涌动的暗潮、一群人的喧闹、每个人的寂寥。当脆弱的梦境被锋利的现实划破，该直面的，该觉醒的，悄然显现。
